in reply to alice

@alice I just setup a friendica instance myself. Just tuning it today. I have been on Fedi for about 2 to 3 weeks maybe? Best of luck with your instance.

Biggest Compliments Trump Has Given To Putin

in reply to That_Damn_Frank

You read my mind! I almost posted a reply about that old disco song.

By the way, I've always loved frogs...Even raised polliwogs into frogs and let them go as a kid.

THE FROG

Be kind and tender to the Frog,
And do not call him names,
As "Slimy skin," or "Polly-wog,"
Or likewise "Ugly James,"
Or "Gap-a-grin," or "Toad-gone-wrong,"
Or "Bill Bandy-knees":
The Frog is justly sensitive
To epithets like these.

No animal will more repay
A treatment kind and fair;
At least so lonely people say
Who keep a frog (and, by the way,
They are extremely rare).

And using a child as a prop?

Was it because Musk wanted to appear relatable, or was he using his own son as a security blanket? Musk could barely string together a coherent sentence. I couldn't believe it.

And I feel bad for his little boy.

I really hope not. He's not a people person, and probably on the spectrum/Aspergers. I was not kidding about his son being a security blanket.


in reply to www.getgle.org - I ❤️ TARIFFS | DADCEL | SAVINGS ACCOUNT ENJOYER

@dadcel - www.getgle.org First MicroSoft tried SAAS (Software As A Service). People did not like it or buy into it. Then they made it sound more mystical and it is now called ... The Cloud. So we are all supposed to be impressed and jump on board. Guess what, many people have. They have completely forgotten that Cloud is a marketing term and not a technology term. From a Technology point of view we call The Cloud a server, or server farm. It would be nice if those that worked in the industry understood that.


Trump Orders Treasury To Stop Minting Pennies
theonion.com/trump-orders-trea…



I got bashed for a humorous post about the Danish taking over California. The person felt we must only be serious about the threats from the Trump admin.

I blocked him. I concur we must take the issues seriously, but if you think we make a difference by only making dour posts (or that we will survive the next 3 years, 11 months without a sense of humor), you are wrong.

STOP criticizing people who care about the issues you do! Aim at the other side. We each need to survive this in our own way.

Trump says 'we're going back to plastic straws.' Is the paper straw dead?

And would the steel be subject to tariffs? 😁

in reply to Cosmic Librarian

yes, it would, but there should be plenty available already. I’ve been using stainless straws for over a decade. And most hot beverage containers are stainless, except fast food/take out. Ugh. Seriously! The steel/aluminum tariff thing is already potentially causing grossly more plastic production. Coka Cola co. has already made plans to produce more plastic bottles in lieu of raising prices on cans. 🤮


Two big improvements to my live DJing process:

1. I figured out how to fix the tempo on some DnB/jungle tracks that Mixxx analyzes incorrectly. You just right click on the track and adjust to 3/2 or 2x the original tempo. Sometimes you need to move the beat grid to align correctly. But these steps can be performed in about 10-20 seconds, if not done beforehand.

2. I started using the playlists for my previous mixes as a way to select tracks. I'm familiar with these tracks, they are already analyzed and corrected, and it narrows down my selection enough to speed up the process dramatically, so I can spend more time planning and executing transitions.

I feel unstoppable now! Watch out for more live mixes!

It's a known phenomenon that insecurity about a particular trait often leads one to exaggerate.


Was there ever a doubt?

Today in "Resurrecting obscure computers from the 8-bit Cambrian explosion of the early Eighties": this Philips VG5000µ is back in business.

Also sold by Radiola and Schneider (in white), this very French computer was designed by La Radiotechnique (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiotec…). It sports a Z80 at 4 MHz and, as its sleek chassis proudly proclaims, 24 KB of RAM (and an 18 KB ROM). It has tape and cartridge ports.

Notice the mad keyboard layout (with accents! 🥳 ).

It's a bit of a goblin. I love it.

Trump attempting to leverage two countries to take in millions of immigrants he argues are fleeing desperate situations is curious when you think about it. On the other end of a similar situation he has tried to build a wall and force people back into their former homes.

Another imitation of Facebook, a dubious achievement, they would rather release a normal application for mobile phones, I emphasize the normal... And not these crafts.

in reply to ANDREQ 🇷🇺

@ANDREQ 🇷🇺 @Pygoscelis Papua It is a Scheme to a Theme. You are not required to use it if you do not like it. Though I know that some of my family and friends that I am trying to get to migrate to the Fediverse will appreciate this. So I am thankful that @Pygoscelis Papua has developed it.
in reply to ANDREQ 🇷🇺

@ANDREQ 🇷🇺 I created "Bookface" for myself and shared a screenshot and other people asked if they could have it too. At least, unlike on Facebook or other corporate social media, you're not forced to use the redesign if you don't like it.
in reply to Pygoscelis Papua

The goal of the mobile application is largely determined by the fact that every time you do not redraw the already heavy interface of Friendica... We are invited to use it through the browser as well.... pwa, are you seriously happy about such perversions of the interface like fB? I stop understanding people🤔

Rogue Project Friendica Instance Up and Running


I had a glitch earlier tonight which caused me to have to drop my database and re-install. Fortunately it was a fresh install and nothing except test data was lost.

Rogue Project: Friendica instance is now, once again in Open Registration.

Keep in mind it is a new instance and there will be some tuning to do.



If you're a fan of #StarWars, my dear #WritingCommmunity, then I've got a little something for you. It's called Shadows of Desire. I started the story, and I've already posted the first chapter. For now, this WIP has a working title. It might very well change in the future.

Governor Tarkin has enough on his plate as it is. Times are rapidly changing, and the Empire is growing stronger as the days pass. A new Intelligence Officer is appointed to the governor's command, though, and one wonders how will the two get along. He has never made it a secret how he feels about Force-users, even if he hides behind pleasantries and the neutrality in his words. There's only one exception to the rule: Lord Vader, but could there ever be another in the future?

Good afternoon, #writingcommunity. A new chapter is live~!

If you're a fan of #StarWars, then I have something for you. This story is called Shadows of Desire. It's lore heavy, storyline driven, goes into deep detail about the Galactic Empire's exploits, and revolves around Moff Tarkin and an original character named Lady Nolana Disa (a Sith) and the affair they will eventually have.

(This obviously takes place after the promotion of his protégé and former lover, Natasi Daala. The two are no longer together.)

Things come to a head on Mon Cala. The invasion continues.
